%LECLERE2015 Compute the binaural useful-to-detrimental ratio for a reverberated target
% Usage: [twoears_benefit, weighted_bmld, weighted_better_ear] = leclere2015(target_in,int_in,fs)
%
% Input parameters:
% target_in : target
% int_in : interferer
% fs : sampling frequency [Hz]
%
% Output parameters:
% twoears_benefit : useful-to-detrimental ratio
% weighted_bmld : weighted binaural masking level difference
% weighted_better_ear : weighted better ear advantage
%
% LECLERE2015 computed the binaural useful-to-detrimental ratio for a reverberated
% target and multiple stationary noise interferers. The early and late
% parts of the target BRIR are separated, the early part constitutes the useful
% signal while the late part is concatenated with the interferer BRIRs to
% constitute the detrimental signal.

% Time windowing function to split the impulse response into an early
% and late parts.
% signal : impulse response vector/matrix (can be multichannel). Each column
% represents an impulse response
% earlyLateLimit (in ms): time for which the window stands to 1
% decayDuration (in ms): duration of the transition for the window to decrease from 1 to 0
% shape of the window : the value 1 is hold until the earlyLateLimit,
% after it's going down to 0 according to the specified window shape :
% - 'gate' : from 1 to 0 in only one sample
% - 'linear' : linear decrease
% - 'exp' : exponential decrease
% - 'cumulative' : decreasing according to the cumulative function of a
% normal distribution, the slope is settled with decayDuration
% lateWindow : defines the shape of the late window:
% - 'opposite': the late window is the complement of the early
% window, ie, earlyWindow + lateWindow = 1 (for every t)
% - 'gate': the late window is set to 1 right after the early
% window reached 0.
% fs: sampling rate (in Hz)
